How to Make Funfetti Chex Mix
To begin making funfetti Chex mix, measure out 4 1/2 cups of Rice Chex mix. Secondly, begin melting the almond bark. Keep in mind that almond bark can burn pretty easily, so you want to heat it up in the microwave in small increments of time. Start with 30 seconds, then give it a stir, and heat up again in 15 second intervals until smooth.
Alternatively, you can also heat up the almond bark with a double burner on low heat, but the microwave method is much easier in my book!
After that, it’s time to get the Chex mix coated with the almond bark. Pour the almond bark over the Chex mix and gently, and I mean very gently, start stirring it together. I would use more of a folding technique to coat the Chex mix in order to keep from breaking them as easily.
Next, add the sprinkles in the bowl and gently stir again until incorporated.
Once the Chex mix is coated, it’s time to add the fun part: the funfetti! Add the chex mix to a large zipper bag, then sprinkle in the funfetti cake mix, zip the bag, and start gently tossing around the bag.
That is all there is to making funfetti chex mix! I like to store mine in the fridge, so that they are cold when eaten, but you can also store with a lid at room temperature for a few days.
